Another solid week here in Duston! The work is moving along and we are just loving life. Time is flying as well. This is the last week of the transfer. It's crazy that Elder Ammermon will be leaving. He has been here for 6 months and is going to be very sad to leave. So I will most likely be staying and receiving a new companion in a week and a half so that will also be exciting. Elder Ammermon and I have had a good run and a sold 4 1/2 months of serving together in the Northampton zone, but all good things come to an end. But the week has been brilliant!!! We were busy and had tons of fun!

So we had an exchange on Tuesday and I was with a beast missionary from Idaho Falls. We had a super good time and we found some way cool people. It's always fun being with other missionaries and just working. We had some good laughs as well. Hahaha he's like 6 ft 5 in and he is massive haha so we were quoting Tommy boy for the entire day. Then on Wednesday we went into London on an exchange and it was such a good time. It was nice being back in the stomping grounds and talking to all the Chinese students. We played basketball on Thursday morning and balled out with Marcus. We had a good time. He is killing it and loving the area and the mission. He's a stud. 

On Thursday we had a super cool experience. We were waiting for an investigator outside the university and these 7 girls came up to us and invited us to visit the campus church. We started talking to them and they started asking questions. We were able to teach the restoration on the street and testify. It was a lovely experience. The spirit was super strong and it just strengthened my testimony. I felt like I was Ammon or Alma just preaching, or like the first missionaries that came to England. It was a sweet experience, we are seeing them this week and giving all of them copies of the Book of Mormon. On Friday we were able to watch Prophet of the Restoration with F and L. It was soooo good. The spirit was super powerful and it was just a testimony builder for me. It was so cool after, F had all of these questions about Joseph Smith and the restoration and she knows it's true. She now wants to go and visit Kirkland, Nauvoo, and sacred grove. So it was super cool. 

Lords Hand

So I saw the Lords Hand this week in I!!! So I have been able to contact her as she is back from China. I even saw her a few weeks ago when we were in London. When I was talking to her this week over Wechat, she told me she had finished reading the Book of Mormon all the way through. It made me so happy to know she has been reading and strengthening her testimony. I felt the spirit so strongly as she told me. It's been 8 months since she was baptized and she found the little tiny meeting house in mainland China and went while she was home. I have really seen the Lords Hand in helping her continue on the path. I've been super super happy and grateful. I've also seen the Lords Hand in O! He went on a church tour up north with the stake young men. And he visited the MTC and all of the church websites. A few weeks back he decided he is going to serve a mission and about a year. It just is super cool to know that one day he will be able to share the message we shared with him and maybe stop someone on their bike riding past him one night when he is on his mission. The gospel is good! It's perfect. 

Found a lawn to mow!! 

I love you Guys! Glad the Utes pulled off the win. It's been a while since we've beat Arizona. I dunno if we even have. But that's sweet! Sounds like autumn is just rolling in salt lake. Even some snow. Keep living it up. Get ready to shred this season for me Haha. I love you, thanks for being the best.
